The NotorIety of scalawacs.

New York Mail and Express
The consequence of quacks like Most very
largely depends on the newsp aper notorlety they
can procure. Were the press to snub them as
they deserve they would speedily sink into in
significance. The newspapers, therefore, who
so literally advertise their movements and va
porings are small degree responsible for
whatever mischief follows. The evils that flow
from galows literature very well known.
Unpeces sary and sensational reports of the say

within the ame category and DO as much harm
We must express our establishment that respect
able newsp apers give such scalawags the place of
honor in their columns. If they commit start

course but why should the release Of one Of
them at the expiration of his sentence be chron-
icled as the most important affair of the day.

CHICAGO DEMOCRACY.

A city election takes place in Chicago to-
dav. The singular feature of the case is that
the Democracy, after electing Mayor Harri-
son four consecutive terms, were unable to
form their lines orput an acceptable candidate
in the field. Harrison was afraid to run
again, and no decent Democrat would make
the race. The party organization has been
practically destroyed by its alliance with the
worst elements in the city, and by Carter

have been driven out of the party or denied
all participation in politics except to register
